1. As the nation grieves and focussed on the tragedy in Broward Country, Susan Rice responds to the Feb 8 letter from Senators Graham & Grassley concerning her CYA email about the secret 5 Jan 2017 meeting in the Oval Office. https://twitter.com/eschor/...
2. First thing to note : it is NOT a reply & highly EVASIVE. It doesn’t reply to most of the 12 questions raised in the Feb 8 letter. Here’s the letter sent by Grassley & Graham: https://mobile.twitter.com/...
3. Some interesting observations :
#1 : Rice now seems to be restricting the participants to Obama, herself, Comey & Gates. Her CYA email of 5 Jan, 2017 specifically included Biden in the meeting.
4. #2: she claims that they never discussed the Steele dossier, quote:
‘In the conversation Ambassador Rice documented, there was no discussion of Christopher Steele or the Steele dossier, contrary to the suggestion in your letter.’
5. #3 : Rice claims that there were ‘concerning communications between members of the Trump team and Russian
officials, before and after the election’ and that ‘concerns about national security’ /...
6. /.. particularly ‘highly classified information about
Russia’ with ‘certain members of the Trump transition team, particularly Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.’
Communications and highly classified information which, of course, no one has ever seen.
7. Note that despite the apparent sensitivity of the meeting, Rice didn’t record the meeting until 20 Jan, in an email she sent to herself. Because ‘I was so busy’.
An email she now claims has the wrong timestamp on it.Because she says she’d left the WH.
I’m not kidding.
8. Then Rice denies knowing anything about the FBI investigation, or FISA warrant until 2017.
Seems odd that Comey and Gates, who had signed the FISA applications, never even mentioned them in a conversation with Rice & Obama about ‘Trump-Russia’ & Gen Flynn.
Very odd indeed.
9. So there you have it. What’s been framed as a ‘reply’ to Sens Grassley & Graham is just a set of talking points for the baying seals of Obama/Clinton’s slave media.
Rice isn’t just continuing to cover her ass. She’s also desperately trying to COA. Cover O’s ass.
10. We now have a meeting with no Joe Biden, where Obama, Comey, Gates and Rice talk about highly classified information, so serious it justified them not sharing it with the new administration.
11. But in this meeting about Trump-Russia, the Steele dossier, FISA spying & FBI investigation were never discussed.
‘We didn’t do nuffin’, promise.’
You can’t make this BS up. Actually that’s wrong.
12. Susan Rice IS making it up and digging the deep hole she finds herself, even deeper.
Why? Because Grassley & Graham already have all the answers to their questions. EVERYTHING.
Rice, being a pathological liar and arrogant as hell, is calling their bluff.
BAD MOVE.
13. The MSM will now spin this non-reply as fast as their lying little minds can manage.
It will change nothing in the real world. Rice has chosen to go down with the others, who no doubt may take her lead and try to spin the same tale.
All to protect Barack.
14. In the real world, all the evidence has been gathered. Now it’s just a question of seeing how many rats fess up with the truth, and how many choose to lie to protect Obama & Clinton.
Susan Rice chose poorly.
The end.

“Create” being the operative word here.
